Summary

Background

In 2024, the Labour Party retained majority control of the council. [3] [4] In January 2026, the council asked for the election to be postponed pending local government reorganisation. [5] [6] However it was rescheduled on 16 February 2026. [7]


On 10 March 2026, the leader of Redditch Council Conservative group and councillor for Webheath and Callow Hill Matt Dormer was suspended by the Conservative party after he was linked to a potential defection to Reform UK. [8] This leaves four sitting Conservative councillors on the borough council. [9]
